My best experience with job-related software was a data entry program (I forgot the name). It had a windows classic UI (on windows 8) and fully keyboard driven. After a few days, I could just look at the paper form and enter the data without looking at the screen. Very usable on a 11inch screen.

These days, I mostly reverted to a Emacs/TUI workflow. Padding and animations makes everything less usable.
